Just when we all though casual gamers couldn't be any more oafish. Now when they can't figure out a difficult game they want to crush things.

There was a link to the Oxford researchers in the article, but the link to the Singapore study only provided the name of the journal, JAMA Pediatrics."A new study", "The study", "The scientists"
No links, no references, nothing nominal. How is this any scientific?

I take it it's not frustrating to play Shira Okrah or Kawaii Dojo?Shd've stuck to dating games...
Actually, from my experience, that's true. Sometimes at arcade there would be dudes that would hit the machine after losing. Never saw anyone do such a thing after performing a successful fatality, for example.GUIZE ITS SIENCE SO IT HAS 2 B TROO!!!11!
Also this. Frustration rage and ragequitting are real phenomena, but the methodology is questionable - you can't just tweak single variable in a game without upsetting its general feel, which in itself is important for creating good gameplay.I read the exact same headline that said it's not violence that makes people angry but bad gameplay. I mean if the researchers increased the difficulty artificially you can't except anything more than some hp bloat or super high damage values, nothing actually interesting to go up against. So basically people get angry at bullshit, hmmm.
Speaking of c64, mine had this infuriating issue when sometimes it started interpreting 'O' as 'Q' (making typing LOAD"*",8,1 impossible).I've never hit any computer hardware because I don't feel like replacing it because it costs money and involves walking. I've cursed a bunch though. I knew this japanese kid and we were playing some game at his house on his c64 and whenever he'd lose he would slam his foot on the machine real hard. Commodores were sturdy stuff but I'm surprised it never broke. He later traded that thing for a NES.
